Vest Threat Levels/ Personal Experiences Hi all, Just thought I'd contribute my little bit of knowledge/ experience with concealable vests. 1. Level II is better than IIA, but only by a very slight margin. 2. For most applications, barring SWAT, CRT, other tactical officers situations...

I think that my safety always warrants the biggest possible caliber that I can conceal. Doesn't matter if it's hot/cold etc..... However, there are times that I like to have someting a litltle smaller than my Norinco commander or Beretta 96, and for those times, the Charles Daly compact .45...

Hi all..... Went shooting today with the new to me Norinco Commander, and had about 3 FTF's. It always happened on the last round, the cartridge would get stuck on the feed ramp, about half way up.... I was using 2 unnamed mags, so I think that may be the problem. Any suggestions as to...

Hi all Have a dilemma, and thought I'd like to have some different opinions. I have a Beretta 96fs Inox, the one made only in 2002. It's a stainless gun, but covered in blueing from the factory. 40s&W. I'm thinking of selling it to my Lt. for $400 and putting that money towards a used Sig...

Hi all, Does anybody know if the Norinco Commander I"ll be picking up soon, accepts Colt/ 1911 parts, or if it needs special proprietery parts? I plan to make this my CCW, so I want to get a beavertail safety, extended thumb safety, and night sight......possibly a nice new finish like I...

Hi all! Does anybody know of a place, either online or off, that sells Beretta 9mm top-ends, or parts? Not sure if Beretta will sell just the slilde to individual customers. Anybody know if they will? I'm looking to purchase a M9 or 92fs topend to put on my 96, so that I have a cheaper...

TheOtherOne: How did you get ahold of my rifle.....;) ?

Hi all! Thinking of buying my friends Beretta 96D. Just a quick question. Is it possible to convert it to 9mm, and if so, how would I go about doing this? Will I need new parts besides barrell, extractor, mags? Would it just be smarter to get a 92FS? I kinda like the idea of a .40sw for...

Where did you get the Sig at almost half off? I'd love to get a P226 in 9mm.
